> Hi,
>
> I wanted to let people know about the Infotech audio magazine, which I
produce.
>
> Infotech is a magazine which focuses upon the subject of Information
> Technology.  In most cases, Infotech is made available a couple of days
> before the month of issue.  It is available on cassette, as a download
from
> the web site, or on CD-ROM.
>
> Infotech reviews and demonstrates equipment and computer software and
> hardware for visually impaired people.  For example, I'll outline the
> contents of the september magazine and what we have planned for October.
>
> Spanning the two editions, we have a comprehensive hour-long review of
Jaws
> for Windows version 4.  Listeners can learn of the benefits of upgrading
to
> the newest edition of the popular screen-reader.
>
> MSN Instant Messenger allows you to send instant messages to your friends
> by typing text to them.  The Infotech article in the September magazine
> described how to install MSN Messenger, sending and receiving messages,
and
> how to undertake voice chat.  There are a number of Jaws script packages
> available from varying sources and window-eyes set files.  We discuss
their
> effectiveness, and describe how to use MSN without configuration files.
>
> Audio description on television is here in the UK at last, in a limited
> form.  We talk to the RNIB to hear their perspective on how they feel the
> service will develop, and we hear from a user of the Sky Narrative
service.
>
> In the October magazine, we'll be reviewing Shades of Doom, the new game
> available to purchase from GMA games.
>
> We'll also review a talking dictionary program which has been developed
for
> visually impaired people within the UK.
>
> There will also be plenty of short news items, and details of our next
> magazine, which will be three hours in length as opposed to ninety
minutes.
>
> As you can see, we do try and put a lot into the magazine.  For more
> details, please contact me off list or visit
> www.hartgen.org
>
> The price is 25 UK pounds per year, or 40 US dollars.  People living
> outside the UK can purchase the magazine on-line, using our shopping
> cart.  Please see the Infotech page on my site for details.
